Magnien/Henri Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2022 1.5L

95-97 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "Medium crimson in colour. A pleasing strawberry and alpine strawberry nose with some delicacy. Then the concentration builds further on the palate, with very refined tannins at the back, and a persistent continuation of the delicate fine boned fruit. A pure and stylish Ruchottes which hints at the ethereal. Drink from 2030-2040. Tasted: November 2023."

93-95 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The 2022 Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru is fleshy and polished, wafting from the glass with notes of red berries, peonies, sweet spices and orange zest. Full-bodied, satiny and charming, with a velvety attack that segues into a bright core of fruit, it concludes with a saline finish. (1/18/24)"

93-95 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2022 Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru has a tough job following the punchy aromatics of the "4 Carac'terres"; it’s quite low-key for this vineyard, crushed stone percolating through black fruit, linear and "correct" in style. The medium-bodied palate has fine-grain tannins. There’s mainly black fruit here, cohesive and smooth in the mouth, becoming stony when retrying after 10 minutes. It's a bit of a dark horse this, very focused and poised, though this is the one cuvée where I think it would benefit from a second winter in barrel. Drink: 2027-2050. (Jan 2024)"

93-94 points/'Very Fine,' Steen Öhman (Winehog): "The Ruchottes is a delicate wine, and won’t battle the mighty Cazetiers – yet. Daintily fruity, it is saline and flowery (red/pink roses). Tense, delicate, and vivid, this Ruchottes has grand cru magic, and will be exciting to follow. Only 30% new oak is a very good call! Drink from 2038. (2/12/24)"

92-94 points/'Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from a .16 ha parcel). A classic Ruchottes nose offers up a lovely array of sauvage and truffle elements on the overtly floral nose of mostly red and dark pinot fruit where hints of earth and wood lurk in the background. The sleek and more refined if not quite as concentrated flavors culminate in a youthfully austere, dusty and balanced finale that seems to be built on a base of minerality. I very much like the gorgeous texture and this is textbook. Drink: 2034+. (Jan 2024)"
